I brought mine up to 205kms/hr, which is about 125miles/hr.
I have toadd she was maxed out at that speed. Also,she took it
very well. A little vibrating but no wobbles. Kept her there for
about a half a mile or so. Good thing there where no cops.......

I have gone as fast as 115 M.P.H. steady as a rock, but I had the Police Paranoia! Because if they clock you at that speed they could impound my bike and take me to jail! And all freeways in Fort Worth and Dallas are crackin down on speeders, there favorite trick is2 cops shooting radar in both directionson a over pass, and down on freeway they have 5 or 6 motorcycle cops waiting to get a call from above and it is like shooting fish in a barrel, so I try to stay 75 or 80 M.P.H. PURPLE HAZE.

Over 120mph and still accelerating hard. For testing purposes only, of course!

Cheers!
